DAF’s roots go back to 1928, when the brothers Hub and Wim van Doorne laid the foundation for what currently is the fastest growing truck manufacturer in Europe. What started as a small engineering business and blacksmith workshop, developed into a trailer manufacturing business in 1932. In 1949, the first DAF truck was produced in the trailer factory. A year later a new truck factory was built and production started with three, five and six tonne truck chassis. |
